Lettres de février - Letters from february

Bonjour,
Hello,

Voici donc ma deuxième série... J'ai gardé les mêmes peintures pour rester dans la même gamme de couleurs, mais j'ai continué à chercher des alphabets différents...

Here is my second set ... I kept the same paintings to remain in the same range of colors, but I continued to search for different alphabets ...

Pas facile uniquement dans mon stock... Alors j'ai regardé dans le livre de David Harris, "Calligraphie : cent alphabets", si certains me plaisaient un peu...

Not only easy in my inventory ... Then I looked in the book by David Harris, "Calligraphy: One hundred alphabets, though some I liked a little ...

Et j'ai trouvé une "Capitale carolingienne libre moderne" à la page 64...
And I found a "modern free Carolingian Capital" on page 64 ...


... une "Capitale fraktur" à la page 120...
a Capital fraktur "on page 120 ...

... une "capitale Rotunda à double fût" p 160...
"Capital Rotunda with a double ... " p 160 ... (the translator failed to translate "fût")

... et une "capitale Neuland" p 174...
and a "capital Neuland" p 174 ...

Finalement ce projet m'aura donné l'avantage d'aller feuilleter dans mes livres pour trouver des idées d'alphabets à travailler éventuellement... Ce n'est déjà pas si mal...

Finally this project have given me the advantage to go browsing in my books to find ideas for scripts to work any ... This is not so bad ...

Passez une bonne journée.
Have a nice day.

Callie

Kim Schoenberger's ALaW - EFGH

Just getting these in the nick of time! Life duties dominated this month... and my rust hunts were limited so I had to take to my faithful stock pile to compile most of February.
Welding of these letters to the mesh has been a nightmare, the fragile nature of the mesh pitted out upon welding so I've needed to take a different approach as to how I attach each letter. Some letters I have welded and I guess some components will still need the use of a welder, but majority will now be attached by using a rusted wire tied at the back.

E - is a weathered brass bracket nuts intact with a welded nut and bolt placed in the centre,
F - welded on, with discarded plugs from cut out metal,
G - a rusted bike chain...still abit of movement under all the rust... shaped nicely,
and
H - a small clamp, not sure from what...with the spring...de-sprung.
